Fedor isn't getting any younger and most American and/or newbie fans have never seen him fight. The UFC better get cracking on signing him and putting him up against CroCop for a rematch.
Where's my cell phone? I have to call Dana about this.

Fedor will sign with UFC eventually, and then destroy Arlovski, Sylvia, Vera or whoever they put him up against, maybe even Randy (though its unlikely, he will probably have retired by the time he comes, though Id like to see him come out of retirement again so he could also be destroyed by Russian wrecking machine), and then he cold have another fight against CC, which might go either way.
Whatever he does, he could spend the rest of his career destroying bums in Bodog and still go down as the best MMA fighter ever, and no one would take that away from him, for a long time.

Many of you are figuring in the near future that there will only be the current top heavies in the world, but as you all know, mma brings some crazy surprises, so who knows what new up and comers will be making waves in the next year. Hell, we all talk shit about Brock Lesnar, but maybe he turns out to be the next phenom? Maybe this will cause Fedor to sign with K-1? We'll never know until it happens. I agree Fedor is the best p4p fighter in the world, but there are thousands of mma fighters out there who are just itching for the chance to sharpen their skills and take on the big dog.

If the Fertittas offer Fedor a chance to fight in the UFC or Pride at at least two events to be held in Russia, I don't see how he could say no. The only heavyweights left for Fedor to fight are in the UFC, as he's beaten everyone but Barnett in Pride. CC definitely deserves a rematch, and hopefully it will be for the UFC Heavyweight Championship!

It would be very sad day if Fedor went only with Bodog because who will he fight; everybody is in Pride/UFC. It'll be a waste of talent.
I agree. Also, he's the Pride champ and I don't think he would just give up the belt.

No, but maybe they could unify them in a way... That would be neat

For the record Fedor and Chuck Norris both possess the power to become younger , but since Fedore is only 30 he's not using his powers yet

If fedor is looking to fight the best competition in the world he needs to sign with Pride worldwide. With the UFC heavyweight division stacked, the ferrtittas will part with big bucks to convince the Pride champ to sign on.
Lets hope he doesnt sell out to an inferior mma promotion like BogDog, which i highly doubt he will, as it doesnt seem in his character to do so!

I dunno, I dont really think he will go to the UFC, My guess is he will stay with pride, fight barnett, do a bodog show once in awhile, crush a couple of up n comers and then fight at the MMA superbowl thing where he takes on the remaining Heavyweights he hasnt dominated.

The problem is if Bodog makes him an offer he can't refuse. Bodog must be gunning hard for Fedor and his brother because the entire success of the organization may very well rest on their shoulders.

His only option legally is to remain with Pride. When the Fertitta's bought Pride, they got the rights to his contract. And even though this is a non-exclusive contract, Dana recently mentioned in an interview with MMAWEEKLY that they are attempting to sign him to an exclusive contract. Dana also stated that if Fedor was to sign another non-exclusive contract with another fight organiztion he would place an injunction on Fedor, which would pretty much be a legal move to prohibit Fedor from fighting anywhere until he fulfilled his contract with Pride.

i personally hope he signs with ufc for at least a few years, give him some new people to beat up (syvlia, coutore, arlovski) hell he can even get a few rematches with some of the ufcs new additions
i mean who is he gonna fight in pride besides mark hunt and josh barnett
and seeing as he just beat mark hunt about 4 months ago and that josh barnett has lost 2 of his last 3 fights i dont see what would be the point.....then again i didnt see the point in him fighting matt lindland

there are a lot of options for fedor in the UFC. Crop Cop Andrei Tim Randy if Brandon Vera resurfaces after a few fights thats possible. and chuck lidell fedor would be a good ass fight
